Giulia Mountain Food / Cibo Di Montagna

The higher you climb the hungrier you get. The mountains of Friuli Venezia Giulia region make you hungry for a plateful of deep-fried Cheese Fritters filled with crisp prosciutto di Parma and Montasio cheese. That's for starters, then a piping hot bowl of Yota. Not named after the tiny Star Wars hero, but the name of a hearty bean soup from Trieste with the tart and terrific addition of sauerkraut.
